Pursuing my higher studies in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA had always been my dream..feels good to be in your dream destinationGoing as a tourist to a foreign country can be fun but living and studying in a alien land for a longer period of time is a completely different experience.And I am sure this experience would teach me lot more about life.Landing in a unknown place has its own pros and cons,I was prepared to face the physical,mentalsocial challenges that would come my way.My buddies did tell me that living in foreign countrywould be frustrating but I tend to look at the most optimistic part,I got to know the place and people on a much deeper level and this experience is rewarding.Well initially I did face few embarrasing situations...When I think of it now.. I cant stop gigglingI happen to go to a restaurant with my friends,I placed the order and the person inthe counter shot back a question,do you want to have it here or "TO GO" I was blank..I said sorry I dont get you..she repeated the same...I was mum for couple of seconds andthen by gods grace it stuck me that "TO GO" would have meant parcel..and the people out heredont use the word PARCEL...Finally I decided that I need to learn their slang real fastand never ever should I face such a embarrasing situation again...After having our food I asked for the bill..now the waiter was puzzled(It was his turn to go blank)he stood there for a while,I asked him again can I have the bill..NO RESPONSE..I had tomake funny actions to make him understand,finally he did understand and replied "I will be here with the CHECK,just a moment" I never knew I would face another embarrasing situation withinan hours time!!!I got that into my head that its not a BILL but a CHECK..The first thing that i did as soon as I reached home is switched on my laptop..googled for"Popular idioms used by Americans" and decided to learn few before I go out the next day.The Learning process is still on!!! but I am far from better now ;-)

Those of you who are wearing spectacles would have realized that the biggest problem with them is that they break often if not the lens their frames . Every time one has to shed out so much money buying new ones once they break that too with in a short period of time.

Now you no longer need to worry about money! Yesterday I found a Great Discovery: Zenni Optical $8 Rx Eyeglasses. Though the low price tag might be misleading that low cost always is accompanied by a compromise in quality but Zenni Optical 8$ Rx glasses will definitely prove you wrong. What ever be your needs single or bi focal or progressive, Zenni optical’s each lens are made of premium quality high index polycarbonate composite polymer which comes with a strong UV protection along with a special coating for providing scratch resistance. But if you are still worried that lens will break often then Zenni optical’s lens will contradict you because each lens has high impact resistance.Zenni Optical was on FOX news recently!!Incredible Stylish New Frames From Zenni provide you with a wide variety of options to choose from.

What makes them so cheap? They directly market their products to the customers cutting out the middle men. The best part is if you are not satisfied with their glasses then you can return them with in four weeks and get 50% of the cost back!!

Shoaib Akhtar's knee injury kept him out of today's crucial match to make KnightRiders semi-finals dreams alive. Shane Warne succeed in his plan to knock out Knight Riders from the IPL tournament.

Kolkata KnightRiders still had a chance to be in the race for semi-finals after losing match against Chennai Super Kings. They have to win there 3 matches and hope that others teams don't perform well. Now the scene is set, you perform and win and you may have the chance for semi-finals. Kolkata Knight Riders net runrate is pretty bad after they losted heavily against Mumbai Indians. Absence of Shoaib Akhtar hit Kolkata Knight Riders hard,since the batting strategy of knight riders were never upto the mark hence heavy pressure prevailed on bowlers. Kolkata Knight Riders are very inconsistent, thats why there are in this postion right now.

Umar Gul may replaced Shoaib. Rajasthan Royalsare on the top of the table and they dont have any worries but they don't want to lose there momentum as well.Warne target was to knock out the knight riders from the IPL , he will be still remembering there last encounter were he was not satified with Ganguly's behaviour on the field.The match was indeed worth watching and Rajasthan royals rocked the ground!!!!!!
